A recent study by confused.com has revealed the world s most underrated road trips. The study analysed the top 50 best-rated drives that have had the fewest Google searches over the last 12 months to reveal the world s most underrated road trips. The most underrated road trip is the UK s Causeway Coastal Route in Northern Ireland. Despite 98.1% of the journey s Tripadvisor reviews being positive the road trip had just 23 700 searches in the last 12 months. The trip takes in many popular sights such as the Glens of Antrim as well as well-known filming locations from Game of Thrones. Ranking second is the Route des Cretes in France. Despite the stunning and highly reviewed views this road trip has to offer this trip was searched just 131 200 times in the last year. Following closely behind in third place are two US-based road trips - Foothills Parkway and Lamar Valley. Foothills Parkway in Tennessee provides spectacular views of both the Great Smoky Mountains and the Tennessee Valley. Lamar Valley on the other hand provides the opportunity for wildlife spotting often being referred to as America s Serengeti drivers may get the chance to see wolves bison badgers and bears. Alex Kindred car insurance expert at confused.com comments: Road trips have become a popular way to see the world particularly post-Covid as more people feel uncomfortable travelling by public transport. However as the popularity of road trips increases so does traffic along the route. Therefore choosing an underrated route is a great way to experience the fun of a road trip while avoiding the crowds. If you re planning an upcoming road trip the route isn t the only thing you need to consider before embarking on your journey. If you plan to drive your own car along the route it s important to check your car insurance to ensure your vehicle is fully insured abroad. Alternatively if you re planning on hiring a car for your trip always check the cost of car hire abroad. Car hire can be a huge expense especially when combined with the cost of fuel which again varies from country to country.
